celebrating the birth of Lord Sri Rama - Sri Rama Navami ..

Today (28th Mar 2015) is the holy day ofSree Rama
Navami– the day on which Lord Sri Ramachandramurthy, the supreme
avatar of Maryada Purush was born in the
blessedlandofAyodhya.
Lord Rama descended on earth for the purpose of upholding righteousness and
rewarding virtue.

Sri Ramar –
Sri Perumpudur

The
Greatest of Ithihasa purana ‘Sri Ramayanam’ is the undiluted history of the Greatest
Person who descended on this Universe, on the banks of river Sarayu, in a
prosperous country called ‘Koshala’. In the immortal Ramayana, there are
learning of life ….. For the Universe, Sri Rama and Sita are the Ideal
persons. Sri Rama is all pervading
principle of Truth, character, steadfastness, sincerity, valour, skill,
correctness, just, compassionate, righteous and more.

Sage
Valmiki, - the most eloquent of men enquired Sri Narada – ‘Who is there in the
World today, endowed with excellent & heroic qualities, versed in all
duties of life, truthful, trustworthy, firm in his vows, benevolent, learned,
handsome, patient, free from envy and when excited to wrath can strike terror into the hearts of celestial beings ?

Narada
muni acquainted with the past, the present and the future, pleased with the
words of the Sage Valmiki, answered him saying:- ‘ Rare indeed are those,
endowed with the qualities thou hath
enumerated, yet I can tell thee of such a person, born in the lineage of
Ikshwaku, renowned, self-controlled, valourous, illustrious, wise, conversant
with ethics, code, slayer of foes, broad shouldered, long armed, eminent in
archery, noble head, of mighty prowess – known as Sri Rama. His country, the Kosala Kingdom was replete
with happiness. The only trouble was
that no body could donate ~ for the simple reason that there were none to seek
and beget things from others. People lived in such a perfect harmony that there
was no fight and there was no opportunity to display valour ~ the subjects were
well educated and lived life full of honour… its capital which had no wars was
known as ‘Ayodhya’.

~
and there is also a great character – a warrior, mightily powerful, whose body
was as hard as a diamond, whose speed equalled those of fastest flying eagles,
who possessed great wisdom, who could organize a group of roaming ones, who can
jump hundreds of miles, yet who remained at the feet of his Master, totally
committed thinking of their welfare alone – unassuming, yet capable of telling
the right things at the right moment – that is Pavana Puthra Hanuman –
Aanjaneya, ‘thiruvadi’ – bearer of Lord Rama – who carried Rama on his
shoulders during the war in which the demon was killed.

On
this day of Sri Rama Navami, there will the purappadu of Sri Rama in Hanumantha
vahanam. Here is photo taken last
year.

Mere chanting of His name [Sri Rama Namam]
will bring us all good things and prosperity.
